摘要

Disclosed herein is a method for producing heating comprising condensing a vapor working fluid comprising (a) E-CF3CH═CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4. Also disclosed herein is a heat pump apparatus containing a working fluid comprising (a) E-CF3CH═CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4. Also disclosed herein is a method for raising the maximum feasible condenser operating temperature in a heat pump apparatus suitable for use with HFC-134a, comprising charging the heat pump with a working fluid comprising (a) E-CF3CH═CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4. Also disclosed herein is a method for replacing HFC-134a refrigerant in a heat pump designed for HFC-134a comprising providing a replacement working fluid comprising (a) E-CF3CH═CHF and (b) at least one tetrafluoroethane of the formula C2H2F4.
